Rhys the Traveler

"It sounds like we might have a better go of it if we give them another hour to inebriate themselves. If Severi remains invisible, Mursley makes someone else invisible, like Thurgan, and then the three of us hide near the entrance, then Aquar and Anohir could lure them out and we could ambush them from behind. Using Aquar's suggestion of spreading oil on the ground to light up when we ambush them would greatly aid us, given our current shortcoming of magical spells."

Mursley, mu

"I have one more sleep spell left, oil in my saddlebags, and my skill with the sling has improved, I have a chance to stun with a hit. I can use my sleep on one on them, and that could be the trigger for the invisibles to attack. Once melee starts I will be off little use"

Severi considers the matter carefully. "I think the oil is a good plan - let's be prepared to torch the whole entranceway. I don't like the idea of getting behind them, but we might prevail by trapping them amid the flames by using the cave mouth as a chokepoint."

Aquar, cleric

"Aye," says Aquar to the plan. "But I will use my potion of blending to gain a surprise and attack, and Anohir and the proto-men can be the bait."

Rhys the Traveler

Rhys turns to Anohir and says, "If you are not comfortable with that, I will stand with you as the bait."

Thurgan, dwarf

"I'm not scared of standing as bait"

Anohir, Priest

"It's bad luck for Clerics to be bait."

Rhys the Traveler

Rhys steps to the left side of the cave entrance and prepares to attack when the ogres are drawn out into the open.

Severi takes a position opposite Rhys, and prepares to try and stick his sword into an Ogrish kidney when the ogres show up.

Aquar, cleric

Aquar has 3 oils and will use two, the second one in a half-circle 5' in front of the first pool, to be lit when the ogres exit the first fire and think they're out of it. He covers a rope with dirt at the entrance. He gets to the right. "When ogres come we pull, it snaps up, they fall into the fire,"whispers Aquar to Rhys who is on the left side. Aquar has a bit of rag burning, enough to lights a fire but not throw light like a torchwould.

He uses one of the other six oil flasks to make another circle of oil 10' out fromthe second half-circle, only to be lit when strategically needed.

Aquar puts a bag spilling with gold 15' to the the southwest, ready to distract the hopefully drunk dim witted gold loving ogres.

To the southeast side 15' out, the lantern of continual light, closed, ready to be used to blind them with a focused beam of light.

Aquar has the potion of blending ready to drink at the first sight or sound of orgre coming down the tunnel. He peeks to watch.

"May Procan help us!"

Mursley, MU

If possible Mursley will find a spot with reasonable cover within flask throwing distance (don't worry he is not going to throw them while anybody is near the ogres). He will keep the remaining flasks to hand just in case we need to improvise.
